Chapter 223: Chapter 223

Chapter 223 Derick’s Warning Gerald looked around without leaving a trace.

Not many people were the enemies of Night Watch. Night Watch was to maintain the order of the underground world. If one were to consider the enemy of Night Watch, then all the people who did not follow the order should be counted.

However, most of the enemies were like Blood Lotus and Dark Phantom, a relatively large and mysterious organization in the underground world.

There were many organizations in the underground world, but most of them were low–key, including Night Watch, and Blood Lotus and Dark Phantom were high–profiled.

Gerald did not know who Derick was hinting at and which organization the enemy belonged to.

However, Gerald also secretly took it to heart.

No matter what, Gerald didn’t reveal his appearance. Besides, with Derick’s introduction and Gerald’s tacit approval, most people would think that Gerald had learned martial arts in prison and reached the top level.

Walking to his table, Derick thought of something again. He turned to look at Gerald and said, “By the way, stay here after the party. I want to talk to you alone. I haven’t seen that old friend of mine for a long time. Tell me about his recent situation.”

The people at the table were stunned.

Most of the people were guessing who Derick was talking about.

They thought that Derick meant it, and many people looked at Gerald with surprise.

But Gerald did not care too much about their gazes. He carefully observed his surroundings, wanting to find that so–called enemy.

However, the other party was hiding very well, and Gerald did not find any clues at all.

Time passed, and when the crowd was having a great time, Derick would call a few men to play some games.

However, Gerald didn’t join them as he would ruin the game by winning every time.

Gradually, it was ten o’clock. People started to leave.

At this time, Leana stood up and walked to Gerald.

Because she was very tall, when she stood in front of Gerald, Gerald was under pressure.

Gerald covered his mouth and coughed, saying, “Hey, beauty, what’s the matter?”

Leana’s face turned slightly red. Then, she took out her phone and said, “You are the only person I know who is the same age as me and is stronger than me. Add me on your Line.”

Gerald was speechless. He didn’t think the two things had anything to do with each other.

He coughed and looked at Ingrid.

Ingrid smiled and did not speak.

“What? You don’t want to?” Leana frowned slightly when she saw that Gerald was a little hesitant.

“How is that possible? It’s my pleasure to have a beauty friend me on Line. I was a little flattered just now and did not react,”

Gerald hurriedly said.

“Bah!” Ingrid could not help but sneer when she heard Gerald’s words.

Fortunately, Gerald was thick–skinned enough. He took out his phone and friended Leana. Not far away, Darrell frowned and said, “Derick, Gerald might have some ability and is also the disciple of your old friend. But he’s not a good person if he was sent to prison.”

Darian also nodded and said, “Yes. And he is from the Kenneth family. Although he was framed, he made his family decline. This kind of person is ruthless. You have to think about it carefully. Don’t let Leana get too close to him.”

Derick smiled and said, “I know what to do. You guys go first. I will also have a chat with this kid.”

People left one by one. Not long after, Derick stood up and said to Eddie and Ingrid, “Leana, take Eddie and Ingrid out for a while. I will have a private chat with Gerald.”

Leana nodded obediently.

Ingrid blinked at Gerald with a hint of excitement on her face.

Derick enjoyed high status in Washington, and now, he took fancy to Gerald. Ingrid felt sincerely happy.

When everyone left, only Gerald and Derick were left in the entire hall. Derick smiled and said, “Have you found out who the enemy is?”

Gerald shook his head blankly and said, “No.”

“It’s normal that you didn’t find it. Darrell has a lot of connections with Blood Lotus. One of his disciplines is a very powerful doctor. He is called Dax in Blood Lotus,” Derick said.

Gerald was a bit shocked.

Dax was indeed a famous doctor in the underground world.

“Anyone else?” Gerald asked.

“Mark, for example. He has grudges against you. He has a close relationship with Saul,” Derick said. “Of course, most martial arts families are relatively low–key now.”

Gerald frowned. Then, he looked at Derick and let out a slight sigh. “For all we want to protect.

“We devote ourselves to the future we want!

“We will never back out!” they said at the same time.

Both Gerald and Derick smiled.

Hearing Derick say the slogans, Gerald was sure that Derick was indeed a Watchman.

He looked at Derick and said, “May I know your identity? You have been in Washington for many years, and I have joined Night Watch for some years, but I have never heard of you.”

Derick smiled, then pointed to himself and said, “Let me introduce myself. My name is Derick Jackson, the person in charge of Dark Net in Night Watch.”

Gerald was stunned. Dark Net was a secret department of Night Watch. The people on Dark Net did not have a number, but they provided the members with the most intelligence.

The identities of all the people on Dark Net were quite mysterious. They were somewhat similar to the current Gerald. They were hidden in the city and lived and worked like normal people, but throughout their life, even their closest partners probably didn’t know their true identities.

But they were able to provide information to Night Watch through secret means.

Gerald never expected that Derick was actually the person in charge of Dark Net.

Derick looked at Gerald with a smile on his face. Then he said, “From the way you look, you should have reached the super level.”

“Yes,” Gerald nodded and said.

“You’re quite promising for achieving the super level at such a young age. There’s hope for Night Watch.” Derick nodded approvingly.

Gerald frowned. Derick said again, “We’ll feel at ease if you will be in charge of Night Watch in the future.”

“Mr. Jackson, don’t say that,” Gerald said.

Derick waved his hand and said, “It’s about time for the old to step down. Blaine came to Washington to meet me this time. If the war breaks out, just let the old bear the brunt. The reason why I kept you here is that I hope you will prevent my granddaughter from joining Night Watch. Her parents died as Watchmen. I hope to leave the things to us, and don’t want her to join Night Watch.”

“Does she know your identity?” Gerald asked.

“Of course not.” Derick shook his head. “But she knows about Night Watch, and she knows why her parents died, so she has been looking for a chance to join Night Watch.”
